The story<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAbout me<\/em>.<\/mark><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Hi, I\u2019m Alex \u2014 a portrait and fine-art photographer who believes the best pictures feel like a quiet conversation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

Based in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riga, Latvia<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Studio & location<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\n

I\u2019ve been photographing people for over twelve years \u2014 first on the streets of Riga with a borrowed film camera, then in a small daylight studio on Gallery Lane that slowly became home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every session starts with a conversation. We talk about who you are, what you want to remember and how the photographs will live \u2014 on a wall, in an album or on a magazine page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\n

What I believe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n
\n
\n

Light first<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I plan every session around light \u2014 a north window, a single softbox or the last twenty minutes of sun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\n

People, not poses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We talk, walk and laugh. The frames you\u2019ll love most usually happen between the \u201creal\u201d shots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\n

Made by hand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every selected image is retouched and colour-graded by me \u2014 never outsourced, never filtered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\n

Built to last<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Archival paper, pigment inks and frames that will still look right in thirty years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\n

A good portrait isn\u2019t about how someone looks \u2014 it\u2019s about how they feel when no one is asking them to pose.<\/p>\nAlex Morgan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
